Plotting Inequalities on a number Line

When you solve two inequalities, such as x>4 and x<=6, you'd draw them on a number line, one above the other.
Using the interval command (in the cooordsys package), you can plot them on a number line, but if you put two interval commands, they are plotted one on top of the other. Can you plot them ...
